The All-Volunteer Force: A Selected Bibliography

Abstract

Since the end of conscripted military service in the 1970s, the United States has struggled with the challenges, demands, opportunities, and costs of not only an all-volunteer force, but with the enhanced expectation of -- and reliance upon -- the Reserves and National Guard. This bibliography highlights that transformation's unique impact on readiness, recruiting, training, retention, diversity issues, quality of life, leadership development, and the relationship between the all-volunteer force and the citizens it serves.
